oh yes, highly intelligent and hilarious images. the equivalent of posting a picture of a crying baby with the text of someone's argument.

people actually enjoy these? where did this shit start, reddit?

go home, the juxtaposition between the grandiose rhetoric and the pathetic physicality is both fucking hilarious (in part because it reminds us of ourselves at at least some level) and a lesson in self-awareness and humility.

A picture of someone (usually overweight, acne ridden, or generally embodying the mainstream idea of unattractive) with a paragraph of text (usually based on atheistic ideas and not well written).

fucking histerical. I dont understand the purpose of these images or the point they're trying to make. ugly people are atheists? generic statements are made by people who wear hats? anyone who finds these pictures funny probably also browses reddit and loves the newest cartoon memes and LULZ.

or if its an attack on atheism, its pretty pathetic but I cant say I would be surprised. what's surprising is the amount of people jumping on this "meme" and actually finding it "funny". I guess they've won with the audience they're attracting.

It's a backlash against butthurt atheist hegemony on the internet. It gets pretty tiring not being able to discuss theology or anything remotely connected to religion without having smug and obnoxious atheists who think they've got it all worked out shitposting everywhere.

I doubt these images were made by christians, more likely just atheists/agnostics with religious sympathies.

I'm glad that 4chan has told these fuckers where to stick it, and personally find the images pretty funny.

They are actually mostly mocking the mentality that sprouted up in r/atheism. This incredibly smug brand of atheism that applauds itself for being an atheist without saying anything meaningful or interesting beyond that.

Loads of fat, fedora-wearing pseudo-intellectual internet "atheists" have popped up in recent years. They frequently post things like these (usually nonsense ad-hominem) and are also fond of My Little Pony and jazz. Most of it is making fun of redditors from their atheism board thing for their one-dimensional arguments, lack of knowledge and general pretentiousness. You have managed to avoid these people thus far, and so don't "get the joke", but many of us have been less lucky. Everybody finds them irritating because they're stupid, atheists find them irritating because they devalue their viewpoint, and anyone with an interest in theology finds them irritating because of their complete disregard for anything outside of their narrow cone of vision. Most of the pieces of text are real quotes vetted from rebbit or other such sources of silly sentences, and those pictures are taken from various similar sources (profile pictures on forums, sometimes from the person who posted the quote, and most embarrassingly, occasionally from dating sites).

Good point. However, I reckon that it does become a bit tiring to read various fedora and euphoria tidbits thrown around whenever someone makes an atheistic point. I wonder if we'll ever find a balance in which people can criticize, but nevertheless town down pretentiousness, towards religion in general. I suppose reddit is ultimately to blame.

Why not m8? Are you a theist or do you just receive some kind of pleasure in watching enthusiastic atheists squirm on the end of fedora-laden replies? Neither spectrum there really seems to be preferable, in my opinion (although, I'll admit I haven't read much into theology). I'm just trying to keep an open mind here.

Word, so you know what people who post on here look like? Fat dudes in fedoras are likely harmless anime lovers or something. They probably don't have too high an opinion of themselves.
